Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for the Manufacture of Glass in Continuous Sheets.
Inventor: ROWART EUGENE
IPC: C03B15/08
Filed: 1909-04-08
Granted: 1910-04-07
Abstract: 8594. Rowart, E. April 8. Drawing.-Relates to apparatus for drawing sheet glass, of the type in which the molten glass is fed by a siphon to the silt, from which the sheet is drawn upwards by buffer - bars mounted on travelling chains. According to the present invention, the fused glass is fed along a channel 6 and round a block 35 to the ends of the drawing-slit, as shown by the arrows in Fig. 1. The sheet passes between tubes 12, in which cold air circulates, and thence through a chamber 11 kept hot by burners 7<1> in an outer chamber 7. The buffer-bars 28 are connected by sheets 29 of amianthus, so as to form an annealing-chamber which encloses the glass sheet during its upward passage. In a modification, the drawing-slit is replaced by a basin or funnel 37, Fig. 5. Air &c. is blown upon the surface 42 of the molten glass from openings 40 in tubes 39, so as to determine clearly the line of formation of the sheet.

Title: An Improved Steam Generator for Engines.
Inventor: NAGAR ARTURO
Filed: 1909-08-18
Granted: 1909-11-11
Abstract: 19,010. Magar, A., and Romano, G. Aug. 18. Generating combustion products under pressure mixed with steam.-A quantity of atmospheric air is rapidly compressed at high pressure into a chamber so that its temperature is raised to at least 350‹ C., a certain quantity of liquid fuel is next introduced into the chamber, where it ignites, and a suitable quantity of water is then injected into the chamber and is there converted into steam which passes through a valve to an engine. Fig. 3 is a section of the generator. The piston 2 of an air-compressor, driven by the engine to which the generator furnishes the steam, draws air through the check valve 10 and compresses it into a chamber 6 furnished with spring- controlled valves 8, 9. Liquid fuel and water are then successively introduced into the chamber 6 through injectors 11, 12, Fig. 4, and the mixture of gas and steam then passes through the valve 9 to the engine. The timing of the various operations is provided for by a shaft 14, Fig. 2, parallel to and driven at the same speed as the main shaft by a suitable transmission gear. Upon the shaft 14 are two eccentrics 20, 21 actuating pivoted levers 30, 31 which operate pumps 34, 35, Figs. 5 and 6. The pump 34 draws air from the air-compressing cylinder through a pipe 39. In the discharge passage from the pump 34 is arranged a cock 40 operated by the shaft 14 through the medium of a pivoted lever 41. When the bore of the cock 40 is vertical, it receives a charge of liquid fuel from a pipe 43 through an adjustable valve 44, and on being turned into an horizontal position, the fuel is discharged by the air compressed, by the pump 34 through the injector 11. When the bore of the cock 40 is again turned into a vertical position, the enclosed air escapes to the atmosphere through a duct 46. The pump 35 draws water from the pipe 37 and discharges it through the valve 36 to the injector 12. The valve is actuated at the proper moment by a pivoted lever 25, Fig. 2, one end of which bears upon the valve spindle, the other end being engaged by a helical groove in a sleeve 23 upon the shaft 14. The amount of steam generated can be regulated by a hand or automatically operated cock in the pipe 37. The fuel-regulating valve may be operated by hand or automatically.

Abstract: 29,684. Bingham, G. W. May 17, [Convention date]. Feeding and winding webs.-In a kinematograph, the film is coiled into the receiver with the leading end outwards, so that the film may be used again without re-winding. The container for the film comprises a stationary outer casing containing. a rotatable supporting-disk and provided with an inturned beading 20, which prevents the film from falling between the edge of the disk and the casing. The receiver 5 can be readily detached, and rotates on a pivot 6, which is mounted on a spring- pressed pivoted arm 9. The film which is guided by rolls or an angularly disposed guiding-slot 11, is driven by means of a sprocket roll 13 and passes through a guide 15<1> into the receiver 5, causing the receiver to rotate. The film coils up with the leading end outwards, the receiver pivot 6 gradually moving towards the guide 15<1>, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 4. The guide 15' may be movably mounted and the receiver may be stationary.

Abstract: 17. Stein, A. Jan. 1. Burners, regulating and controlling.-In a cooking - oven of the kind with heat-retaining walls heated initially to a suitable temperature, the supply of heat for the initial heating is cut off by therrnostatic devices operating when the cook. ing-temperature is reached. The thermometric device 15, Fig. 4, for cutting off the oil supply to the oven, is shown also in Fig. 5, adapted for cutting off the gas supply to a similar oven. It consists of a gas cut-off valve 31 in a casing 15 provided with connexions 29, 30 to the gas main and gas burner respectively, and comprises a tube 17 of metal with a larger coefficient of expansion than the metal of the casing 15. When the tube 17 is fully expanded, a spring lever 24, mounted between the knife-edge bearings 22, 23, moves its lower end 28 away from the valve 31; which is then pressed down by the spring 35 so as to cut the connexion between the nipples 29, 30. The oil valve 47, Fig. 4, is similarly actuated by the rod 46. The valve 31 has a hollow shank 36 fitting on a pin or shank 38 formed in a movable cap 40 The shanks 36, 38 are connected by a spring 41, by means of which the valve 31 is lifted when it is desired to re-set it. When cool, the tube 17 is connected to the atmosphere by a small tube 18 and a perforation 21 in the diaphragm 20, but, when the device is hot, the tube 18 presses against the diaphragm and is closed.
